Today my dad told me to take the Datsun 180B turbo for a spin since its been in the garage for weeks, fearing the battery might die. Man was I having fun! That would be on your family's private road yes

It will be the best money you ever spent and you will then see how badly everyone drives on the road.It might even save your life one day!

Funny you should say that, my Granddad is going to be paying for one of those because he said the exact same thing that you did "It might save your life one day!"
Guest Lowndes Crazy Guests Posted 08/07/03 01:24 AM Posted 08/07/03 01:24 AM Well done Barra, now I need to get my butt in to gear and do Road Ready! Note to self: Dont walk on footpaths, that's where Barra will be driving... Just joking mate :lol:
Guest Isher Guests Posted 08/07/03 02:21 AM Posted 08/07/03 02:21 AM He's already living the good life...I started out in a 1.4L 4 Cylinder Ford Cortina...Actually that's the car I lost my P's in.. Be careful BarraGT, 4 Litres of pure punch :D Try a 1978 Toyota Corolla 1.3lt 3spd Auto for size.I drove that ba$%@rd for near on 5 years. Any time you got over 80km/hr the road noise was so loud you couldn't hold a conversation in the car. When the road got wet it would under-stear like hell as the skinny little tyers strugled to maintain grip. Still, it was cheap to run, mechanically sound and never let me down.It used to really annoy me when I would park the car at the Uni car park next to $30-$80+ BMW's, Merc's etc with P plates. I mean these guys didn't even have a job yet but they alreay had a dream car? Where do you go from there?Isher

I share your love :DMine had 2 green doors on the drivers side, a yellow column in the middle cause of an accident that cause us to weld in a replacment from another cordy, red bog all over the sides..Top speed of 140 where I blew my 2nd engine. Same with you on the road noise.Going out to the city, I know what you mean about all the BMW's and Mercs with P plates...Makes you wonder just how rich some people are and where we belong in the world...It was still my favourite car to date, had the most amount of fun
